Hymenoptera aculeata from Majorca and Spain. 627

ants belonging to four species. A visit to Montserrat, the 
locality which we found so rich in July 1901, yielded very 
few insects, and no Hymenoptera at all. 
1901. 
June 24.—Mr. W. Holland, Mr. A. H. Hamm, and I 
arrived at Port Bou, the Spanish frontier station in the 
Eastern Pyrenees, late at night on June 23. The next 
boat for Majorca did not leave until the evening of the 
25th, so it was decided to spend the whole of the 24th 
collecting at Port Bou, instead of going on to Barcelona. 
First the bare hot slopes near the station were explored, 
and many insects captured; then, following a hint given 
by the proprietor of the hotel, we penetrated a valley 
running up into the hills behind the little port. At 
the bottom of the valley there was a stream with abund- 
ant and varied plants; but the slopes also were still green 
and afforded a rich collecting ground. Lepidoptera were 
by no means common, but of insects generally we saw far 
more than on any other occasion throughout the journey. 
It is a locality which would probably well repay a more 
extended visit. 
June 25.—The train for Barcelona started early in the 
morning, so that no insects could be collected at Port 
Bou on this day. Barcelona was reached a few hours 
before the boat sailed, and a considerable number of 
insects were taken in waste ground upon which wild 
flowers were growing. 
July 13.—We landed at Barcelona in the morning, and 
spent some hours collecting in waste ground. In the 
early afternoon we took the train for Montserrat. A few 
insects were caught at Monistrol (2200 ft.) while waiting 
for the cars of the funicular railway. The terminus on 
Montserrat was reached early in the evening in time for a 
little collecting. At the height of the terminus and Hos- 
pederia (about 3000 ft.) the vegetation was fresh and 
green, and the collecting most interesting, varied, and 
tolerably rich. The bramble blossoms were at their best 
and very attractive. 
July 14.—The whole day was spent at about the height 
of the Hospederia and not far from it. The level moun- 
tain path which begins opposite the Hospederia was
